Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition 8.9.3 - Foglight for Cloud Migration User Guide

Migrating Virtual Machines

Before migrating virtual machines to Azure, you need to protect the virtual machines and ensure that the virtual machines have taken recovery points.

1
If the virtual machines are not protected, protect them on Migration > Plan tab. Protect virtual machines.
Click Protect Now to popup VMWare VM Protection Setup Wizard.
* 
NOTE: The Credential should have administration role.
2
Take a Recovery Point. You need to Force a Recovery Point after preparing the virtual machine. See Forcing a snapshot in Rapid Recovery 6.3 User Guide.
3
Check Recovery Point. Ensure that current recovery point includes the VM preparation.
4
Migrate the virtual machines. Select the VMs and click Migration button. Then, click Confirm on the Migration Confirmation popup dialog box.

Configuring Virtual machines on Azure

1
Change disk type or size.
Currently, Rapid recovery does not allow to specify the disk type or size for migration. All disk types will be HDD after migrated to Azure.
Users will have to manually change the disk type or size according to recommendation after migrated to Azure.
2
Add more NICs for virtual machines.
Only one NIC will be created for the migrated VM in Azure by default. If the virtual machine needs multi-NICs, manually add more NICs for them (depending on VM size).

Deleting VHD files

Azure Blobs storage is used to store the VHD files temporarily. When VM migration is completed, you can delete the VHD files on the Azure Blobs storage. The files are default saved in “export” and “deploy” containers under the storage account you used to migrate.

Limitations

Currently some VMs or disks are not supported for migration, including:

•
VMs with UEFI boot
•
VMs with 32-bit operating system
•
VMs with 4 TiB disks or above
•
VMs with RDM disks
•
VMs with NFS/SMB volumes mounted as volumes
•
VMs with encrypted disks/volumes

The VMs with the following features require manual operation:

•
VMs will be migrated to standard HDD managed disks in Azure by default, users can change the disk type or size in Azure manually after migration.
•
If the VMs have multiple NICs, only one NIC will be created for the migrated VM in Azure by default. Users can add more NICs manually after migration.
